COMMENTS AND RESPONSES

While I'm sad the series is ending, I'm glad it's getting to go out on it's own. That seems to be a trend these days with long running shows that I'm happy to see.

My wife and I got into the series late. We watched seasons 1-6 in the months leading up to the season 7 premier. Once we got past the first episode, we didn't want to stop. We had watched the pilot about a year ago and just couldn't get into it. Friends told us to go back and keep watching and I'm so glad we did. The letdown is that we watched 7 seasons in 4 months just to have the 8th be the last. I hope it goes out big. Just wondering how the end will come.

This show has remained awesome. I'm just glad they didn't go down the path that book 3 of the series went. I was so disenchanted with the new direction that I stopped reading the books. Ruined it for me. I'm glad they've stayed consistent on the show.

@fft - Just goint to put a book spoiler just in case. Don't want anyone complaining I ruined the book for them.

Are you referencing the fact that his dark passenger is a demon and he faced off against a an evil God Moloch? Yeah, that was wierd. But I kept reading. The latest book is sitting on my bookshelf with a bunch of other novels, waiting to be read.

Yep. That's what I was talking about. I was purposely remaining vague so as not to spoil. That whole direction was BS for me. Ruined a great series. Unless book 4 comes out and says that the whole Moloch thing was a crock, I'm done with the series.

Well there are six books out now with another coming out this year sometime. I've read up to book 5 and I remember still enjoying them even after book 3's odd revelations. I don't remember the books dwelling too much upon the events of book 3. But it's been a while since I read them. I'd suggest checking out 4 and seeing if you still like them. I still enjoy them.

I'm liking AMC's The Killing (also in the 9 PM Sunday evening time slot). Mania has decided to avoid the show despite the fact that it stars Joel Kinnaman (Robocop 2014) and Mireille Enos (World War Z). It's probably a little too real for Mania who prefer fantasy serial killers like Dexter.
